Especially with the success of Enter the Dragon. People were craving for more Bruce Lee even after his death, and it would've been the same if he were alive

He suffers from "photophobia" or light sensitivity, sometimes you might win a fight by pure chance, meaning, you find in your seemingly superior opponent a weak spot and you develop a strategy to explore it.

Kareem one of the greatest basketball center to play the game. And great friend and student of Master Lee

I heard tale that Bruce once asked Kareem while training with him if he ever thought of just picking his opponent up and strangling them since he's so huge.

36 Chambers of the Shaolin is a classic movie that is one that ppl believe is one of the best from that era with Gordon Lieu.

In the original script, the top was manned by a sage. There was no more fighting but wisdom. Too bad Bruce didn’t get to finish this movie. The fighting scenes are still epic.

Fun fact, Bruce Lee didn’t even know what was supposed to be the treasure at the top, he didn’t get a chance to write it and he just held it off and unfortunately he would never get a chance to write it

The part that always stuck with me, when I saw this as a child, was the oversized Footprint on the yellow shirt. Just…BAM…. Since I’m a small person too, when I did martial arts, I was always worried this could happen, especially when we learned push kicks. Later on, I did train with someone well over 6ft, and his kicks scared the crap out of me, so much, I was too afraid to hold the focus mitt.

Kareem was using Jeet Kune Do in this scene and the scene was changed for the movie.

Hi BK, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your reactions to these scenes. Its a little refreshing seeing a teacher with such an optimistic outlook when reviewing other people's work rather than _just_ finding ways in which their style is better (not that critism is bad)! After all I think self defence styles are constantly evolving and by reviewing each others work in a more constructive fashion would help everyone out. Anyway, love your videos keep up the great work! Peace from the UK.

Bruce Lee: Why Continue? Just let me pass Kareem: You've forgotten, that I too, am not afraid of dead WOW!!

Imagine the skills gained training with 7foot1 Kareem. Kareem was a great athlete. Taught Bruce a lot training with him.

Lots of fun always enjoy seeing these and also the way you are able to break it down from a fighting standpoint.

Kareem was a student of Bruce’s back then. Learning some basic Jeet Kun Do. Bruce asked him to be in the flick because of course no major special effects are needed when a guy is naturally 7ft tall and athletic from playing basketball. It practically writes itself when going against a small Asian man.

Bruce pulls some grappling stuff in the beginning of enter the dragon sparring with Samo Huyng if I recall correctly. Yeah, just watched it - submits him with an arm bar.

What I love about this, is Bruce doesn’t put in his films, that he can’t get hit. Like some people (Seagal) don’t ever get hit in their movies.

Bruce Lee is my favorite fighter ever great guy huge fan from Oregon R.I.P Bruce Lee the dragon the best

I think this was Lee’s best choreographed fight scene. It was the ultimate testament to Lee’s principle of a completely unorthodox fight style that minimizes an opponent’s advantages and identifies and exploits their weaknesses.

That was an amazing scene. Even compared against modern choreographed scenes.

One of the best fight scenes from the legend, the scene looks like david vs goliath😅✌️

The thing I will always wonder if who the other two opponents would have been. We saw kali, aikido and a giant. Originally Bruce wanted 5 opponents so I wonder which style or situations he would have fought :)

Thx for reacting to this legendary fight! If I may hint, the sound of the video was way to quiet, couldn't hear the two talking.

Alright! The ending of Game of Death! This fight seems way ridiculous with the difference between their heights, it’s literally David vs Goliath at this point. Go check out Drunken Master fights with Jackie Chan.

If you're going to go to Jackie Chan, it should be the scene in City Hunter where he fights two giant guys in a movie theater with this fight scene running on the screen.

That last choke was supposed to be a bulldog choke, which isn't a blood choke but a pain choke since it impacts the throat and spine. So you could fight through it as long as he didn't crush your throat if your pain tolerance is beastly. I certainly tap when I get a good judo or catch guy latched onto one of those. Hurts like hell.

The actual footage was lost for I think 20 years so along with his writing in the movie so they didn’t even know his actual vision for the movie

Here's the amazing part- Both of them moved so fast that they had to slow down the footage to what you are seeing.

Did you guys see the way they throwing haymakers from the very beginning? Like those western slugfests with kicks and grappling. Great fight scene.

I've watched Game Of Death well over 50 times but I've never seen this cut that fight lasted a lot longer than in version I've seen but didn't have the my favorite kick in any Bruce Lee movie he kicks Kareem under the chin with a side kick.

Jet Kun Do. Use what you have to win. That fight illustrates that so perfectly

Pop Culture reference. Goku's "Perfected Ultra Instinct" Form from Dragon Ball Super is inspired by Bruce Lee's concept of Self-Movement. The idea of having the perfect merger between Natural Instinct and Control. Having the body move with purpose. Having the body well trained enough where its reactions requires no thought yet maintaining control so not become animalistic.

This was great! Also, I love Master Ken. That guy is so much fun to watch. I'm sad that he got booted off of America's Got Talent right away before he could really show off his stuff. Big missed opportunity.

If you want to see what the original story for Game Of Death was check out the DVD of Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey.

Just remember that this film was incomplete so the bit where Kareem is pushing his head down onto the broken vase, it looked crap as it doesn't fully show what happened, and he probably hadn't finished that sequence.

Each level bruce fought was made to show fighting a different technique , size , weapon etc. Bruce was formless and adaptive to each level , each style he was fighting and adjusting to it whether size or technique.

A cool fact about this fight Bruce really did jump that high to kick K. A.J. in the face. He did it more than once because Kareem didn't think he could.

When people say Kung Fu doesn't work in MMA, I say look at eye pokes and groin kicks. Then watch Bruce Lee Green Hornet audition.

He's sun glasses, are premium, untouchable

lesson - everyone has a weakness no matter how strong they look

I wish to say two comments. Firstly had Bruce Lee lived long enough to incorporate those magnificent 3 fight scenes in to a movie & I mean a movie that he would be proud of I feel this could have been one of his best ever films. The film the game of death had it's moments,highs & lows apart from those 3 fights when Bruce Lee was in film for around 15 minutes in the theatrical release version. Secondly this memorable fight was very different from this version. I think the talking part between the two didn't really fit in & wasn't necessary as for the scene with the light & how it affected Kareem I didn't mind that unfortunately not shown in the movie. I have the DVD with extras & special features showing the full fight also between Kareem & 2 other martial artists.
